Venue: Abanca-Balaídos

Having a 23 point dominance in the league table, Celta de Vigo fans yearn to see their side get full points from this game vs Elche.

Insights:
  • Celta de Vigo have played more matches over 2,5 goals home than away.
  • Elche have the fewest scored goals (20) in La Liga

These teams have little in common geographically as Elche have to travel 1000 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.

It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Celta de Vigo and Elche.

Celta de Vigo form and stats

Celta de Vigo have collected 20 points from their La Liga home games so far after 5-5-5.

Stress levels are on the rise for Celta's attacking players as they have now played 180 minutes without scoring in a league game. Paciência was their last goal scorer.

Celta de Vigo are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 0-2 away versus Real Madrid. Aspas, who plays in attack, was the top player for the side in that match, receiving a rating of 6.94 (out of 10). Aspas hit three key passes and dribled past the opponent 1 of 1 times.

Before that game, the home loss against Mallorca with the scoreline 0-1.

The manager Carvalhal will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Villarreal in only four days.

Celta are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 21 goals in 15 games. Celta de Vigo have conceded 17 in these home matches.

Elche form and stats

There's been little loot from Elche's travels as they have only collected 6 points from 15 away games in the La Liga. Elche only have 1 win to counter their 11 defeats and 3 draws. It's looking increasingly bleak for Elche who now has to deal with a five game losing streak. Real Valladolid was the last time a defeat was avoided.

Elche are looking to quickly end their 226 minutes long goal drought in the La Liga.

Elche failed to get anything from their last game, a home match vs Valencia (placed 18th) that ended with defeat 0-2. Fidel got a match rating of 7.8 in that game, top player of the team. Fidel hit five key passes and dribled past the opponent 5 of 6 times.

Preceding that game, the 0-2 loss visiting Girona's place.

You'll want to know how Elche managed when outsiders such as today. Our database found 7 similar matches resulting in 0 away wins, 1 draw and 6 home wins.

A quick return to home after this game, as Elche are hosting Rayo Vallecano in the La Liga only three days away.

The attacking power of Elche when travelling is not overwhelming with 9 goals scored from 15 league matches away. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. The Elche manager Beccacece has some worries about the defense as 34 goals have been conceded in these travels.
